Is it possible to get rid of jowl lines without any fillers? I don't want fillers a this time because we are planning to get pregnant in a few months or so. I went to a local med spa and they recommended Microneedling treatments. I dont have an issue with pigmentation or acne scars however, I would like to have a more youthful looking face. Im 36 and wondering what other women my age do to keep their face looking fresh and youthful. Thank you.

Answer: Microneedling with PRP for fresh youthful skin! Hello Simplelife12, Micro-Needling (also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or CIT) is for the treatment of fine lines, acne scars and improvement of the skin’s overall appearance. During this procedure, tiny needles are used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin in order to produce collagen and elastin. The skin’s repair process results in a thicker dermis with the appearance of softer wrinkles.From what I see in your pictures, you are wanting to address the volume loss to the marionette lines. Microneedling will improve the skin texture and tone but will not fill the volume loss in those areas.I would definitely recommend the microneedling with PRP to keep your skin looking fresh and youthful, along with a good skin care regimen.Hope this helps!

Answer: Microneedling Microneedling is an excellent option for you with your current situation and prior to your pregnancy! Microneedling is a great, non-invasive treatment that can decrease fine lines, wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture/tone, and brightness! The procedure works by using a tool (microneedling pen) to induce intended injury to the face, stimulating a new growth of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are essential components of this skin to keep it looking youthful. I can’t speak for what is keeping the skin of other women glowing, but once your pregnancy/breast feeding is complete- I would highly suggest getting on a great skin-care regimen (such as the Obagi Nu-Derm System) to keep your face bright daily!
